Cards suited for a man...

I love this set, Noble Deer. It's been around for a while, but I still find that I use if often for cards made for men. I really like the soft tones of the Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla cardstock.

Wow Stamp Night!

Here is one of the cards we did for our WOW class last night. This is a criss cross card. I fell inlove with these cards. I think they would make BEAUTIFUL wedding invitations!

I love to stamp! I love to make cards.

I love being a Stampin' Up! Demo. Is there anything better than a piece of wood with rubber on it! I think not! LOL Here is a simple card I did a few days ago. Hopefully tomorrow I can post my Wow cards from our stamping class held last night. Beautiful cards if I do say so!

A few layouts...

This was a challenge for TSOS. My journaling is hidden on tags. It contains my feelings on turning 36, having my last child, and facing the new direction of my life. Pretty emotional stuff!

I do not do enough layouts about me. But I'm trying. The challenges help. I know that my history has to be left behind for my kids and grandkids. I just don't like pictures of me! :)

One Of My Favorites!

Completed this a while back, but it's become one of my FAVORITES!

Cayla was just two weeks old. So very sweet.

All of my flowers were cut with Cricut, and

I used my fingernail to "curl" the edges.

I just love how it all turned out.

Hard to imagine she is now one and I am so

very far behind! LOL

I've been tagged!

So I have to post eight interesting things about me. Oh wow... do I have that many!

1. I am married to my high school sweetheart and I love him so much!

2. We are renewing our vows in March with all our kiddo's around.

3. Oh, I'm mom to seven wonderful kiddo's.

4. I am music director at our church. I love to sing!

5. I love going to our cabin, and riding 4 wheelers!

6. I can sew!

7. I am horribly afraid of small, inclosed places.

8. I teach all of my children at home!

Going to tag someone else! :)

She's One!

Well just a few days ago, my sweet baby, and the caboose of the kiddo's turned one. She is beautiful, and perfect, and so much joy. I am thrilled God has so greatly blessed us with healthy kids. But the mom in me is so sad, as a part of my life that I love so much is now gone. I love being pregnant and the delivery and everything, I've been lucky. But it is time to move into a new stage of life, although I go kicking and screaming!

School has also began at our house so it's quiet in the morning. Well as quiet as it can be with a one year old, three year old, and six year old. But they are doing pretty good and their older sister's are coping with it all. Caden, my six year old is in first grade this year. He's so excited about doing school work. We will see how long that lasts. By next year I'll have another high schooler. So for now... I'll just enjly where we are. I hope to have a great year with lot's of fun and learning. Well I guess that is all for now!

These Days...

are sometime more than I want to deal with. However, I love the Lord, He loves me, and I know He holds me in His hand.

Ten Months Old...

And growing bigger and sweeter every day!
Baby girl is the joy of our world.

She is full on the move, crawling, chatting and learning to stand.

Turning Six...

Today I have a six year old. How fast time flies. I remember being sooo excited when I found out we were going to be having a baby. Seven years has past since my last, so he was a joy! Now he's growing into a sweet boy with a gentle spirit. He loves the Lord, and his family, and I couldn't ask for more! Happy Birthday Big Boy!!!

Hot, hot, hot

yes, that is life in Alabama. It already in the mid 80's and I hate it already! I want to find my 'HEAVEN' which would be 70 during the day and 50 at night all year long! Ahhhhh...

Bitty Baby Girl is on the move. She is killing her poor mom by deciding to crawl, stand, and stop nursing all in the same week. She is so independant and smart. I know she is going to be a handful, she already is. But then she is so sweet and loving too; and her great smile and big brown eyes melt your heart.

Little Boy C just turned 3 and Big Boy C will be 6 in a few days. Bitty Baby Girl will be 9 mo in a few days as well, and it's really beginning to get to this mama. I am so blessed to have all seven of our great kiddo's, but seeing my "babies" getting older and growing, is getting harder on me as the days go by. Bitty Baby Girl was a surprise to us and I am so glad I was able to have one more baby. I guess one of my top ten questions for God is to know why He placed such a deep desire for babies and pregnancy in my heart. I sure wish it would kind of go away, so this mama heart didn't hurt so much.

I guess I'm feeling really melancholy today.

And a few more!!

My Work...

Here are a few Lo's that helped me become Queen

It's been a great Spring Break!

Sweet Little Chick A Dee.....

My sweet little girl! She loved her first Easter.
Being all dressed up and all the attention!


More picture of the rest of the kiddo's later!

Shoppin, shoppin...

I have so much fun lately spending my bonus from our taxes! LOL. DH gave me a chunk to psend on whatever I wanted and I have enjoyed hitting every scrap store in town and online! He's a good guy! And I still have more to spend!

Now just finding time to sit down and get a lot of scrapping done! Luckily little girl is getting bigger so she is happy longer for me to get some things done! YEAH!!!

Here is a LO I finished this week. Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!

If you love scrapping and being challenged, come join us at The School of Scrap, it's just awesome. Geez, I never liked school until now! :)

Well, got to go for now, time to go Easter Bunny shopping!

Can You See The Pollen

I can't believe it is Spring, we had such a mild winter. No snow, once again, much to the dismay of my kiddo's. I'd love to take them to a big snow somewhere, just once for the experience. Every child deserves some snow at least once a year, don't you think?

In just a few days my youngest little boy will be three. Wow, how time flies. He is super cute, and has such a personality. I love scrapping him. Never know what type picture we will get, but it is sure to be fun and adorable. Kink of like this one!

And since it is Spring time, it's also time for Spring Break around one of my favorite places on the web, The School of Scrap. Our faculty is gearing up for a fun week... come check it out!

Spring Time....

Well it sure does feel like it, although we will probably have one more cold snap before it's Spring for good. The weather has been so nice and we have spent some time outside. We found a great new park about 20 min away and it is just awesome. The boys LOVE it. Although I keep finding myself wondering how I'll get my scrapbooking done if I'm always outside. I think when we go this week I'll carry all my Stampin' Up! stamps to cut out and mount. At least I'm being constructive. Little Bit loves outside too, she can't quiet figure out the sunshine though... doesn't understand why her's eyes won't open!

I've been challenged, by Kerri at TSOS to start of a BOM. I have never wanted to do one, but I am reconsidering. I do all these books for my kiddo's and am leaving behind my memories of them, but not of me, and maybe... I will have to think about it! LOL But I think I might begin that adventure. (Oh, my daughter isn't doing anything ugly with her hand, she was snapping to get little bit to look forward. lol)

Time Passes....

too darn fast! :) In just a few days my baby will be seven months old. Oh my how that stings my heart. She is such a joy and so beautiful. She is the best of all that I have had. She is our caboose though. It makes me sad. Sometimes I think I'm a nut for having such a desire for children. I mean goodness, we have seven... lol

Anyway here is a picture of my precious angel girl. I'm so in love with her. She just melts me heart with ever sweet smile!
